I want to convert to Christianity but I’m too young to leave my Muslim home

Question:

Dear Sir,

I'm convinced that Christianity is the true religion. Your website was really helpful and informative. I would like to convert to Christianity, but I'm just 15 years old and raised a Muslim. As you might know if a Muslim converts to another religion he has to face a lot of criticism from society and in some countries even death. Fortunately, I live in a place where there isn't a death penalty for apostasy. I'm not worried about the criticism, but about how it would affect my family members. I have a relative, a born Muslim, who embraced the Baha'i faith a few years back. Because he lived in town and was quite unsocial, he did not have to face too many problems. But my grandmother, who lived in a village, had to undergo a lot of insults and difficulties when the village authorities came to know about it. No one would sell anything to her in the markets, no one would talk to her, or come to visit her, although she herself was a devout Muslim. My parents in the end figured out a solution and the villagers have forgotten about it now. However, I think it would happen all over again if I converted to Christianity. Also, my parents, who are very social people, would undoubtedly be greatly insulted by people. I might even have to do it against my mother's will. So, my question is that is it OK if I don't convert until I'm old enough to support myself, and I move to a better and more understanding society? I'll probably apply for a scholarship in some other country. After all that my parents have done for me, I feel like it is my duty not to make them social outcasts.

Thank you.
